We always get excited for new Star Wars, even if that has recently led to mostly heartbreak, so we were juiced to watch the newest Disney Plus show, The Acolyte, but the show suffers from the same limitations of the streaming format that many others do. There's definitely stuff to love in there, but there's also a lot to be disappointed in.

Let us know if you agree and hopefully the next Star Wars endeavor learns from the Acolyte's mistakes.
